Thanks for the posts on my own blog, Conan. By the way, I am acquainted with the supposed newspaper you reference--though it doesn't deserve the term. Yours is better!

I'm one of the few Americans you'll find who actually follows Scottish politics. (I'm rather an admirer of Mr. Alex Salmond who I give marks as one of the world's best political debaters and no wonder David Cameron is looking for an excuse to not do anything so likely to make him appear foolish)

A strange thing to do--I'll give you that. But our own are too depressing so I watch yours instead. :-)
